Frank Carson: A Rebel Without A Pause

Belfast funnyman Frank Carson blazed a comedy trail for over fifty years. His quick-fire gags and infectious laugh delighted audiences in variety shows, on telly and in clubs across the land - The Comedians, The Old Days, Seaside Special, Royal Variety, Noel's Houseparty, Tiswas and many more.


In 1976 alone he did 41 network TV shows. He was Mayor of Balbriggan (twice), King of Blackpool, Clown Prince of Ireland and Prime Minister of Fun.


But there's more.


In this acclaimed one-man show, written and performed by Dan Gordon, we journey with Frank from his Belfast boyhood - where life was so tough even the arms on the chairs had tattoos - through his adventures in the army and into the world of showbiz where he entertained royalty, delighted Pope John Paul II and never forgot where he came from.


A whirlwind comedy drama celebrating the man, the myth and the mouth - it's a cracker!
